I just got the T530 about a month ago. It was a rough order process as it was delayed numerous times. (This will be fixed by moving onshore now). It has been a great machine.

The only complaint I have about it is the slow wake time. For whatever reason (even after following some optimization tips), when it wakes from closed cover or timeout it takes forever.

I got to ask -- how is the new keyboard? I have T420 from a year ago and it still had classic keyboard. Is the new one worse?

I like it. I splurged the $5 more for the backlit keyboard. The only thing with keyboards is how loud the keys are when they type. I find that it is pretty quiet.

Only thing I'm not used to is the left Ctrl key position. Ultimately I'm pleased with the choice, having been a long time dell laptop user and never having a thinkpad, I'd definitely buy again (as long as startup gets a little faster)
